If  you  had  read  the  documentation  (especially  Table   3.5   at
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/ELDKUsage)   you  should  know
that this is an illegal setting.

There is nothing funny at all about this. It's just  a  pilot  error:
Garbage in, garbage out.

To put it simply: RTFM.

Best regards,
